Dirty Three Scenic - A Strange Holiday When The Time Comes

Review by Queen Siwon

Dirty Three Scenic's album A Strange Holiday When The Time Comes is a captivating and emotive experience. The trio, made up of Warren Ellis, Mick Turner, and Jim White, create a unique soundscape that blends elements of folk, rock, and experimental music.

The album opens with "Alice Wading," a haunting instrumental track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The use of violin, guitar, and drums creates a sense of tension that builds throughout the song. This tension is released in the following track, "She Has No Strings Apollo," which features Ellis' powerful vocals.

Throughout the album, the band explores themes of love, loss, and longing. The tracks "Everything's Fucked" and "Some Summers They Drop Like Flys" are particularly poignant, with their melancholic melodies and introspective lyrics.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Doris," which features a driving rhythm and soaring violin lines. The song builds to a frenzied climax that showcases the band's raw energy and skill.
